    Our company logo is an assembly of various graphic parts

    I now want to scale it to fit a new fron tpanel
    It seems that scaling of an assembly is not available

    So I saved it as a part, but it's now not really a proper part, I can't
    scale it either

    Any ideas

    Thanks for the suggestions.
    I had forgotten the "Magic" word JOIN!

    Even so scaling resulted in each individual letter of the logo scaling
    smaller, but the separation between letters remaining constant, so sadly I
    am not much further ahead.
    It is starting to look like I will have to redo from scratch

    Thansks again

    If when Appling the Scale Feature the separation between letters remain
    constant. Switch to Scale About Origin instead of Centroid.

  4. another way is to make a 'sketch block' of your logo sketch and save it.
    Then you can insert it anywhere, scale it and then convert entities to make
    your logo.
